Abstract

Static and dynamic magnetic properties of the tetracoordinate CoII complex [Co(CH3-im)2Cl2], (1, CH3-im = N-methyl-imidazole), studied using thorough analyses of magnetometry, and High-Frequency and -Field EPR (HFEPR) measurements, are reported. The study was supported by ab initio complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations. It has been revealed that 1 possesses a large magnetic anisotropy with a large rhombicity (magnetometry: D = −13.5 cm−1, E/D = 0.33; HFEPR: D = −14.5(1) cm−1, E/D = 0.16(1)). These experimental results agree well with the theoretical calculations (D = −11.2 cm−1, E/D = 0.18). Furthermore, it has been revealed that 1 behaves as a field-induced single-ion magnet with a relatively large spin-reversal barrier (Ueff = 33.5 K). The influence of the Cl–Co–Cl angle on magnetic anisotropy parameters was evaluated using the CASSCF calculations.

Summary

Introduction

Current interest in molecular compounds exhibiting magnetic blocking on a single molecule, so called single-molecule magnets (SMMs), lies in their potential practical applications in quantum computing or magnetic memories with a high density of storage [1]. It was shown that increasing of total S by synthesizing large polynuclear involves deliberate tuning of magnetic anisotropy This is not clusters of paramagnetic metal atomscomplexes does notdue lead increasing oforientations. Upinterplay to several correlations on thecoupling relationship between a if we consider a special category of SMMs with one paramagnetic center, so called structure and anisotropy parameters have been reported, namely for tetracoordinate [8,9], single-ion magnets (SIMs), the deliberate of the magnetic is easier pentacoordinate [10,11], hexacoordinate.
